Dappled Things is a quarterly dedicated to art and writing that seriously engages questions of faith. The stories, essays, poems, short plays, and works of visual art that you will find in our pages are not afraid to take reality seriously, engaging the fullness of our human nature in all its messy complexity. In an environment dominated by headlines and 24-hour controversies, Dappled Things seeks to enrich and challenge contemporary culture by creating a space for the permanent things.

Praise for Dappled Things
“[Y]ears from now an Edwin O’Connor may look back and recall how he got his start with Dappled Things.” — Richard John Neuhaus, First Things
“This publication serves as one of the greatest outlets of Beauty—true Beauty mind you, which is ever distinct from prettiness—that I’ve ever known. Each issue contains a royal flush in the Catholic gamble with the modern world, in its poetry, short stories, essays, criticism, and artwork. Each issue awakens the soul to meet its Maker. Each issue—for me personally—is a welcome respite from the eternal snark of the Internet.” — Marc Barnes, BadCatholic
“[An] excellent literary journal . . . with excellent essays, fiction, art and poetry.” — Amy Welborn, Open Book
